I hired Char to be present at the deliverys of both of my children. This is the best decision I made! She is very educated and knowledgable of pregnancy and delivery (from her own personal experience and the medical education). It was reassuring to me that she would be with me the whole time and be able to help advise me with pros and cons of decisions that might come up when I wasn't going to be thinking clearly. She had both my child and my health as her first priority. It was my goal to deliver both my children naturally without any outside meds or interventions and Char helped me do that successfully, not only once but twice! My first labor was very quick and scary and I almost didn't make it to the hospital in time, but she was very calm and soothing and helped me through it. My second delivery was quite a different experience and more text book with warning signs etc. I was able to communicate with Char during the day when I labored at home and then she helped with using different positions to help the baby drop and finally be delivered naturally within 3 hours of being admitted to the hospital. Char was always available during the pregnancy with any questions I had and does a fabulous job of following up after delivery to make sure mom and baby are doing well and don't need any extra care. She goes above and beyond her duties. I would highly recommend Char to any friends or family members that are pregnant and looking to use a doula!
